Does anyone have a method for diffing .pd files that produces useful
results? Basically, I don't think that pixel coordinates are important
if they change (only if it changes order of execution), and usually
when I diff a .pd file, almost everything has changed because of the
coords.

I find adding this makes it more helpful: "cvs diff patch.pd | grep -v connect | cut -d ' ' -f 1,3,6-99" but I am
wondering whether anyone else has done anything along these lines.
Ideally, I would love to see a visual diff for Pd.
